ABSTRACT
Comparable degree of liver cirrhosis, as judged by liver function tests and histopathology, was induced in rats by carbon tetrachloride. Comparative organ distribution of 99mTc-sulphur colloid and 99mTc-phytate was studied in the liver, spleen and lungs of these cirrhotic rats. Compared to controls, the biodistribution of 99mTc-sulphur colloid was found to be affected more than that of 99mTc-phytate in cirrhotic rats, especially at early time intervals.
